Finding And Filling The Gearbox On 05 Relay 2.2 Hdit

[Discoduck]

Hi first post hope someone finds it of help.

Drained gearbox then removed n/s driveshaft to replace outer rubber boot .

New drive shaft seal fitted  all back together .

Came to find filler plug, could not find it but found this site instead. :rolleyes:

Gleaned that there is a breather pipe on top of gearbox that is used to fill her up.

Removed air filter box and intake and output pipes.

then the water drain pipe (black rubber) that is held in a clamp right above the breath/filler, 

just pull the open end forward and twist out of the way towards fuel filter.

Get a good torch shine down where drain pipe was but slightly back look for black plastic cap 3/4" wide next to gear linkage.

THATS IT :) 

Get a hold of it and give a gentle pull cap comes off leaving about 1.5" of tube stuck up .

I used an old white plastic tap shower pipe about 2ft long 1/2" wide push one end into the breather/filler an 1" or so and push a funnel into the other end and tye rap onto the bonnet stay.

Halfords £10 per can of GL-4   75w80 2.7lts+-0.3lts so tipped the lot in. :unsure: nice and steady does it.

PUT BREATHER CAP BACK ON. :blink:

Just got a couple of jubilee clips to replace the throw away ones fitted as standard and replace the 3 rubber bobbins under the air filter. £7.80 off e bay.
